Chapter 37 Women disguised as men
The next morning, Zhou Chang woke up in a strange room.
Her identity has changed to the national pianist Xiao Lan.
Consciousness merged instantly.
Ok?
Zhou Chang jumped up from the bed. What happened?
"Conspicuous system, how can this be a woman?" Zhou Chang was touching himself and Xiao Lan's body randomly.
I confirmed it again, yes, it was a woman.
Zhou Chang rushed to the bronze mirror on the dressing table.
The face in the mirror was indeed the one with the handsome face and bright eyes that he had seen at the gate of the Dali Temple the day before.
"The identity change was successful, no problem." The viewpoint system replied and displayed the information at the same time.
【Level: Medium 99】
【Commission: Two】
【Order: 53】
"How much did this identity cost?" Zhou Chang didn't know how to count.
"One thousand five hundred taels of commission." The viewpoint system replied.
The person in the bronze mirror counted on his fingers: "Is this cheap? I remember you said last night that he deserved a maximum of three thousand taels for his status."
"That was correct," the viewpoint system displayed the nine-class ranking list again, "However, the identity data was just updated, and the gender is female. According to the settings of this plane, the price is halved."
"So, I got a bargain?" Zhou Chang felt uncomfortable.
At this moment, she also roughly understood the reason from Xiao Lan's memory.
Xiao Lan's age was basically the same as when she died unexpectedly in her previous life, just in her early thirties.
She was originally an orphan, and was bought by an old musician to be taken as a disciple and taught skills.
Xiao Lan, who was only four years old at the time, showed great talent the first time she touched the piano. As she grew older, she was not only able to compose moving tunes that old musicians had been unable to compose for decades, but she was also obsessed with playing the piano and could forget about food and sleep.
But as a girl, and a bought musician, when she grows up she can only become a singer who plays the piano for people. It is impossible for her to compose music and play the piano wholeheartedly, and it is even more impossible for her to pass on her talent.
The old musician couldn't bear it and admired her talent, so he tried to change her identity, having her dress up as a man and raising her as his son.
In this way, by the time Xiao Lan reached the age of twenty, the music he composed had surpassed those of his time, and by the age of thirty he was famous all over the world.
Later, he was appreciated by the Director of the Imperial Music Bureau and entered the imperial city last year. He performed for the Emperor at a palace banquet and was praised by the Emperor, who directly bestowed him the title of "National Master".
This title had no rank, but Xiao Lan was able to directly enter the Imperial Music Bureau and become an eighth-rank music director. He could also be summoned to the palace at any time to perform music for the court.
Xiao Lan, a national master zither player, can be summoned to the palace at any time, which is the key reason why Zhou Chang is interested in this identity.
As long as she can enter the palace, she can use this identity as a springboard to meet more noble people. She already has a lot of commissions in her hands. As long as she can find an opportunity to get in touch with a more key person, she may be able to help the Yuan family and have a say in front of the emperor.
Well, if a woman dresses as a man, there is nothing wrong with that.
Zhou Chang quickly accepted it. At least they were both women, and she had been able to successfully hide her identity for many years and yet become famous for her skills, which was also admirable.
However, this also explains why Xiao Lan dodged intentionally or unintentionally when the young master of the Chu family was arm in arm with him in front of the Chu Mansion, the Grand Court Justice, that day, and why she gave people a sense of being outstanding.
"Knock, knock, knock." Zhou Chang was daydreaming when there was a knock on the door.
A woman's voice asked outside the door: "Has Si Le gotten up?"
"What's the matter?" Xiao Lan now lives in the Jiaofang Office under the Taiyue Office.
The woman said, "I'll bring you breakfast. Also, the Grand Master of Music sent a message asking you to go to his place after breakfast."
"Got it." Zhou Chang agreed, opened the door, and took the breakfast himself.
The female disciple bowed and left through the door.
Most of the people in the office were musicians and singing and dancing artists. Xiao Lan's daily duties were to compose music and teach female musicians to play the piano, so most of his disciples were female. However, due to the difference between men and women, female disciples would not easily enter the room.
Zhou Chang had breakfast and went to the courtyard of the Grand Master of Music Gong Ming based on Xiao Lan's memory. However, when he arrived there, he was told that Gong Ming was in the men's courtyard.
The management of the official Jiaofang Bureau was relatively formal. On weekdays, the musicians were separated by gender during rehearsals. And since these musicians were all men, it was convenient for them to work in the men's courtyard.
Zhou Chang then went to the men's yard. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw many teenage boys practicing martial arts with their upper bodies bare.
Going further in, the doors of the main rooms on all four sides were open. Some people were playing the piano, some were singing, and some were changing their makeup and clothes.
Zhou Chang looked all the way and suddenly felt in a good mood. The musicians here were all carefully selected, and their looks and figures were all first-class. It was really a feast for her eyes. Not only could she see many handsome faces, but she could also see figures that she could not see normally.
When you enter the innermost room, you will see that all the people in the room are middle-aged and elderly men.
Zhou Chang first bowed to the old man with a white beard sitting in the middle and said, "Greetings, Master Gong. I heard you were looking for me."
Xiao Lan usually gives people the impression of being neither cold nor hot, neither rude nor overly polite.
The old man was the highest official here, Grand Master of Music Gong Ming. He also made a gesture of invitation: "Please take a seat. Now that everyone is here, please tell us about your progress."
Zhou Chang sat down at the very end.
Although Xiao Lan was awarded the title of "national player" by the emperor, seniority is still the basis for promotion here, and she is also low-key and happy with it.
Next, several musicians reported their progress in turn.
It turned out that the imperial court was compiling the "Music Code", which was to include all the songs by famous composers of the time.
The reason why Xiao Lan agreed to enter the Taiyue Bureau was precisely because of this incident.
Anyone with extraordinary talent would want his or her works to be passed down through the ages, and Xiao Lan is no exception. However, whose songs to include and which songs to include are not something that can be decided by an outsider.
Xiao Lan has just joined the company and today is her first time officially participating.
Zhou Chang understood nothing and just listened.
After a while, the others finished their reports. Grand Master of Music Gong Ming nodded and looked at Zhou Chang. "I have already read the music sheet you sent me a month ago. The number of pieces included in the Music Code is limited. I cannot include all of them. I have to personally select them, but no more than ten pieces."
"Everything is up to the Grand Master of Music." Zhou Chang didn't care, and Xiao Lan was not upset.
Grand Master of Music Gong Ming added, "In addition, there is a volume on skills in the Music Code. I can't handle it alone. Xiao Sile is young and promising, and has superb skills. Why don't we let Xiao Sile write a rough draft first, and then we can discuss it together, and finally the director will decide on the compilation."
"Yes." Zhou Chang also agreed.
She didn't care about that, she just wanted to ask a question.
Next, a group of old men discussed many details. Zhou Chang couldn't sit still at all. Seeing that they seemed to be endless, he simply hid away temporarily on the pretext of needing to relieve himself.
After leaving the room and heading towards the toilet, Zhou Chang took the opportunity to admire the handsome men.
It was not until I entered the toilet, stood on the pit, and was about to take off my clothes and squat down that I realized something was wrong. "We share the blessings and the flesh together.
Brothers and sisters, please collect it by the way. "
